THE  UNITED  SOCIETy!^ 


WHAT    IT    IS    von. 

The  United  Society  of  Christian  Endeavor  is  simplv 
the  missionary  agent  of  all   the  societies.     ThroughTta 
know  edge   of  Christian    Endeavor    principles    i     be  ng 
spread   throughout   the  world.     It  is  sometimes  asked 
-What  good  will  it  do  us  to  join  the  United  Society'  •' 
A  question    more  in  accoril  with   the   spirit  of  Christian 
Endeavor  would  be,   -What  good  can  we  do  ot  ei^  1, 
joming  the   United  Society?"  "if  the  society  is  goo    fe 
one  local  church  it  is  presumably  good  for  ail  the  church- 
es, and  a  knowledge  of  it  shoull  be  spread  a   roa  It 
seems  hardly  Christian  for  a  society  to  take  the  princ  plis 
of  Christian  Endeavor  and  then  do  nothing  for  the  ce    ra 
vSaT""-  *^';^"'';'«'^-'  tliem  to  further  its  work    The 
United  Society  has  been   legally  incorporated   under  the 
laws  of  Massachusetts. 

HOW    TO  JOIN    IT. 

Any  society  that  wishes  to  join  the  United  Society  can 
do  so  by  filhng   out  a  blank   prepared   for  the  purpose 
which  wil    be  furnished. by  the  United  Societv      There 
IS  no  tax   levied   but  it  is  hoped  that  everv  8ocietv  w ill 
give  as  a  free  will  offering,    the  verv  small  sum  of  Te 
cents  per  year,  per  member,  for  the  spread  of  the  worki 
all  the  world      This  money  is  used  Largely  in  sendin.ro 

ChruZ  r  'f"  ^«'!"»'y.»»d   in  foreign   iands  where  tl  e 
Christian  I-n-Jeavor  idea  is  not  well  known. 

_,.  NO    LARGE    SALARIES. 

There  are  no  large  salaries  paid,  and  onlv  one  officer, 
tlie  General  Secretary,  is  wholly  supported '(and   in  this 
case  at  a  very  moderate  salary),  by 'the   Uniled   Socie  y

^  more  slowly  perhaps,  but  more  surely.  It  wilt  never  be 
X.  forced  upon  an  unwilling  church  or  pastor,  without  the  co- 
^  operation  of  the  pastor.  It  will  afford  no  temptation  to 
^  seek  the  work  for  the  sake  of  the  salary  attached. 

THE    UNITED    SOCIKTY    SHOUMi   PRINT  THE  LITERATURE. 

In  this  connection  let  us  say  that  we  think,  so  far  as  is 
possible,  the  United  Society  should  become  self-support- 
ing by  printing  its  own  literature,  furnishing  the  Society 
badge  when  decide<l  on,  etc.  On  this  account  the  old 
series  of  literature  will  be  cancelled,  and  the  new  series 
revised  and  improved ;  and  this,  together  with  the  na- 
tional badge  when  decided  on,  will  be  copyrighted  for  the 
benefit  of  the  Society.  No  author  will  receive  any  roy- 
alty, and  no  individual  will  make  a  single  dime  out  of  it ; 
but  any  profits  that  may  accrue  will  be  used  for  the  fur- 
ther spread  of  Ciiristian  Endeavor  ideas,  so  that  in  the 
course  of  y°ars  the  Society  may  be  almost,  if  not  quite, 
self-supporting.  At  the  same  time,  the  local  societies  can 
thus  have  their  printing  done  cheaper  than  in  any  other 
way. 

WHAT    IT    WILL    FURNISH. 

The  following  leaflets,  varying  in  size  from  eight  to 
sixteen  pages,  will  soon  be  issued:  "The  Model  Consti- 
tution (revised),"  "  The  Society  of  Christian  Endeavor: 
What  It  is  and  How  it  Works  (revised),"  "Raise  the 
Standard;  or.  The  Element  of  Obligation  (revised)," 
"  The  Work  of  the  Various  Committees,"  "  Reorganiz- 
ation," "  The  United  Society,  The  State  Union  and  The 
Local  Union,"  "History  of  the  Christian  Endeavor  Move.

ment,"  "The  Beginning  of  a  Society,"  "Modern  Meth- 
od of  Christian  Nurture,"  etc.  These  little  pamphlets, 
when  printed  in  larjife  cpiantities,  can  be  furnished  for  about 
two  cents  each.  '•  Uniform  Prayer-meeting  Topics,"  fov  a 
dollar  a  hundred,  and  the  "Cards  for  Application,"  "  Act- 
ive Membership  Pie  ige,"  etc.,  for  about  fifty  cents  a 
hundred.  These  supplies,  wl.en  printed  separately  for  u 
society,  would  usually  cost  "c.cr.il  times  as  much.  By 
raising  a  club  for  the  Tt.E  Goldkn  Rule,  every  society 
can  practically  have  its  printing  done  free  by  accepting 
the  literature  premium.

STATE  UNION. 


Form  of  Constitution  for  a  State  Christian 
Endeavor  Union. 

This  Constitution  is  based  on  that  of  vhe  Connecticut 
Christian  Endeavor  Union,  and  is  recommended  by  the 
Exi'cutive  Committee  of  the  United  Societies  of  Christian 
Endeavor.  It  cor '  'mplatcs  the  formation  of  local  unions, 
which,  so  far  as  th  /  exist,  shall  be  connected  with  the 
State  Union  through  their  presidents,  who  are  ex  officiis 
members  of  the  State  Union.  Societies  not  connected 
with  local  unions,  will  be  represented  in  the  management 
of  the  State  Union  through  the  officers  and  elected  mem- 
bers of  the  Executive  Committee,  all  of  whom  are  chosen 
at  the  annual  meeting. 

The  annual  meeting  is  one  of  societies,  not  one  of 
unions,  all  societies  belonging  to  the  State  Union  having 
equal  right  in  its  meetings,  whether  they  belong  to  a  local

is  partly,  to  stimulate  an  interest  in  the  formation  of  local 
unions  by  thus  recognizing  their  very  great  importance, 
and  partly,  to  make  sure  of  having  on  the  State  Executive 
Committee  those  men,  who,  by  their  otKcial  position,  are 
acknowledged  to  be  among  the  leading  Christian  Endeav- 
or men  in  their  respective  localities.

LOCAL  UNIONS. 


One  of  tlie  later  developments  of  the  Christian  En- 
deavor idea  has  been  in  the  line  of  I.ocal  Union,  These 
unions  are  composed  of  six,  eight,  or  a  dozen  or  more 
societies,  banded  together  in  tliis  way  for  mutual  helpful- 
ness. They  have  been  found  very  usefid,  and  have  stim- 
idated  the  giowth  and  increased  the  value  of  indiviilual 
societies.  The  young  jieople  who  ibrm  these  unions  meet 
once  in  two  or  three  months  for  a  discussion  of  methods 
of  wotk,  or  the  fundamental  principles  of  the  Society,  or 
for  meetings  of  prayer  and  consecration  These  meetings 
have  been  found  of  special  value  in  promoting  the  spirit 
of  brotherhood  and  Christian  fellowship.  The  organiza- 
tion of  these  "Unions"  should  be  very  simple,  and  the 
constitution  may  be  brief  as  is  shown  by  the  following 
form. 

FORM  OF  CONSTITUTION  FOR  A  LOCAL

Article  J.    This  Society  shall  be  called  the  — Chr'  itian
